I think that Louis Riel was both a hero and a traitor becuase to some people he was a hero but for others he was a triator .

Riel is both a hero and a traitor.
To Canada Riel is a traitor, a criminal, a murderous villain. Riel stood up for the rights of those who lived in and had rightful claim to, lands Canada bought from the Hudson Bay Company. Lands Canada wanted everyone to think of as empty of people.
To many in the lands colonised by Canada Riel is a hero for standing up against Canada, standing up for the rights of the little guy against a violent colonizer.
To many in Quebec he is a hero because he was French and stood up to an English Canada, an Ontario Canada.
